I have collected many obituaries of genealogical interest over the past twenty years.I will be posting them on this blog as time allows. The majority of these obituaries are from early Arkansas Baptist newspapers and have been transcribed as written.

Sarah J. Rhodes

Since it has pleased God in his goodness to call from us our beloved sister and teacher, Mrs. Sarah Rhodes be it.
Resolved, That we meekly bow in submission to the will of him who gave and who hath taken away.
Resolved, That our Sunday school and church has lost a most valuable worker; one who was always willing and ever ready to do whatever her hands found to do, and whose place no other can ever fill.
Resolved, That we will cherish her name and revere her memory, and seek to follow her as she followed Christ.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with her bereaved husband and relatives, and pray for their consolation.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to her husband; that they be spread upon our church record book and be sent to The Baptist for publication.
